plesk cli wrapper

Awesome CLITool for geeky Plesk admins

Unix only

Captain Obvious

A lot of time in console

Completion, aliases, own scripts

Plesk has rich CLI interface

There are some problems with it ;)

Not So Obvious

I waste spend~50% of time at console

typing... typing... typing...

Typical Commands

mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` psa

/usr/local/psa/bin/domain ...

/usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local...

tail -f /var/log/sw-cp-server/error_log

...
